The Black Legion had already invaded Arraissa and while the world on a whole had been struck, the Sister's enclave had been the main focus of the Black Legion's attack. When she arrived however, she realized she was too late. Once back on board she gave the order to return to Arraissa. Now fearing that her Sisters were at risk, Aleya quickly grabbed a map of the Warp, which had been in the Cultist's hideout and then returned to the enclave's transport ship Cadamara. Though she could not understand most of it, one word stood out - Arraissa. Displayed on the broken device was a member of the Black Legion, who had been communicating with the Cultists and the device kept repeating the last few seconds of their conversation. It was during the Crusade's fifth year, that Aleya was sent alone to the void station Hellion Quintus to hunt down a Cultist linked to the Circlet, but she was seized by dread after she grabbed a communication device from the Cultist's dead hands. It began after Hestia single handedly destroyed the Circlet Cult in the shipyards of Eyrinan V and afterwards discovered information that led to several other Cults and Cultists. In her service to her enclave on Arraissa, Aleya hunted down and killed many of the worshipers of Chaos and even Daemons, but this all changed during the Thirteenth Black Crusade.
Still Aleya could not help but rage against the Sisters of Silence current disorganized and isolated fate and often despaired at how more effective they could be against the forces of Chaos, had the Imperium not abandoned them.
Aleya's home on Arraissa was one such enclave and had been established by the veteran Sister Atarine Hestia and she had been able to keep the enclave supplied with equipment, staff to aid the Sisters in their mission and pay the necessary tithes and bribes to keep the leadership of Arraissa away from them. This had caused the Sisterhood's Order to fragment and led to the formations of many isolated enclaves, who still served the Emperor to the best of their ability.
By the time of the Thirteenth Black Crusade the Sisters of Silence had long lost their standing among the other militant orders of the Imperium and were largely ignored and forgotten.
